WebDeploy to deploy multiple web sites

Hi, we have a multiple environment setup (local, Development servers, QA servers, prod servers, etc.) and we are building an XBAP application that uses WCF Services to connect to databases.ÃÂ We code and unit test everything locally and then deploy to our Development servers for more thorough unit testing.ÃÂ The issue that we are having is that we don't see how to update the deployed XBAP application to use the Development server deployed WCF Service.ÃÂ The only way we've been able to do this is by having to change the reference on my local machine, complie, and redeploy the XBAP.Question:ÃÂ How do we configure a deployed XBAP's Service Reference to point to the same service on a different server than what it was originally compiled/deployed with?ÃÂ (Like in some configuration file...NOTE: but we also don't see a config file after deploying the XBAP.)ÃÂ We don't want to have to update the Service Reference for QA, Prod, Training, Stage, etc. on our local machines, compile and redeploy every time we need to migrate the application to a new environment.Thanks!

I am in the process of mapping out our new sharepoint farm. In order to structure this properly I would like to be able to post an entry either as a blog or an annoucment to more than one site at the same time. An example would be a company announcement
on an internal staff site as well as a team site with our consultants. Is this at all possible in any way? Or would these need to be posted in each place individually.

I have one main SharePoint site which has 5 child sites. Each child site represents a different department. On each of these sites there is a list called "ActionPlans". These lists all have the same name and the same number of columns. I need to somehow
combine the 5 "ActionPlans" from the child sites into one on the main page.

I was able to loop through the SharePoint object and pull out one list, populate a datatable and display it in the SPGridview. I am having problems looping through the other sites and combining all lists.

Say I have three sites: http://my-server/active-development, http://my-server/beta-release and http://my-server/official-release that essentially 3 different version of the same code base and I need them to function independently w.r.t. to session state. As in, when I log into one site (say http://my-server/active-development), the session ID cookie generated for that site should not be present when I open another browser window (of same type: say IE) to another site (say http://my-server/official-release). Unfortunately, that won't happen. Its because when the ASP.NET SessionIDManager generates the ASP.NET_SessionID cookie, it always specifies Path = "/".

I have searched and searched but have not found a solution anywhere. My problem is that we have a number of document libraries that require check out for editing and have mandatory fields. When users upload multiple documents the documents are kept checked
out until a value is assigned to the field and the document is checked in. The issue is, that users may not complete the process and subsequently no other users can see the document.

We tried indexing the 'Checked out to' field and allowing for users to search based on this. However, this does not display documents with no checked in version and as such does not help...

Is there some way that we can make the search indexer crawl these documents or have a web part that lists documents checked out to the logged in user? We are using SharePoint Foundation 2010 which may make this more difficult.

We use MOSS 2007 for doc mngmt and maintain individual sites containing lists and libraries for each of our 90+ projects. All sites are created from a site template and we wish to keep them all identical. How should I push out changes and updates
as business requirements change? In other words, if we change/update the template, how can I make all the sites and lists look the same?

I'm hoping someone can provide some insight into a problem I'm having.

I have been tasked with trying to find a way to create multiple sites within the same site collection with a standard Task list in each site. Now, I'd like to combine each of those task lists into one single task list viewable by the managers.
I know I can create a dataview, however I haven't been able to get that view into Outlook using the "Connect to Outlook" option in the Actions Menu of a task list.

One of the features introduced in Entity Framework is being database independent. Which mean each database provider can support Entity Framework by implementing its provider.

This feature allows you build applications independent from the underplaying database provider. In this post I'm going to show how to build an application that support multiple databases using same conceptual model made by Entity Framework.

Team sites are small web sites that are created to store everything about a particular thing. For example a site can be created for a department in an organization like human resources. I site can be created for a particular project. A site can even be created for a meeting. Everything about the thing (department, project, meeting) like documents, lists, calendars, etc. is stored in that site.

This article describes on how to add multiple columns and rows in GridView without using a database. Basically the GridView will be populated with data based on the values entered in each TextBoxes on Button Click and retain the GridView data on post back.

Based on my previous control "Multiple Column DropDownList for ASP.NET", I received many emails asking for the same control to be used in the DataGrid for web applications. Here we go.. This control can be used as the regular MS DropDownList in the DataGrid and also as a regular dropdownlist. It has all the properties, like DataTextField, DataValueField, DataSource, SelectedIndex etc. The download file contains the samples both in VB.NET and C#. In this sample, I have used the Northwind database of SQL Server.
